Can I just give a collective back-patting for the sanity and supportiveness of this forum?
There are a lot of places that would get into an ugly fight over this topic--foolishly, I would say. I love that we are a case-by-case kind of place that respects parents and the individual needs of kids. I think the responses to this thread have made it clear that no one here believes in willy-nilly medicating kids, but that we think medication is a valid option worthy of consideration in some cases. That's a smart, sane response I think.
And every time we back any parent who is doing the best job s/he can do, I feel proud to e-know you all.
Yay, us!
We now return you to your regularly scheduled Rampant-Emotion-free thread...
